Additionally, methods for the simple and quantitative analysis of the surface chemistry are desired as the chemical nature and number of the surface groups and ligands can affect the optical features and controls the interaction of these nanomaterials with their environment. Here, we present quantitative photoluminescenvce studies of different types of vis/NIR-emissive nanomaterials like semiconductor quantum dots and upconversion nanocrystals will be presented and their relevance for the mechanistic understanding of nonradiative decay channels and the rational design of new nanomaterials will be underpinned. In this respect, also validation concepts for such measurements and absolute fluorometry will be introduced. In addition, the potential of optical spectroscopy for surface group and ligand analysis surface chemistry will be demonstrated exemplarily for semiconductor quantum dots T2 - AK Prof. Voss CY - Uni Brunswick, Germany DA - 03.08.2017 KW - Semiconductor KW - Upconversion KW - Nanoparticle KW - Fluorescence KW - Surface group analysis KW - NIR KW - Absolute fluoreometry KW - Integrating sphare spectroscopy KW - Optical probe KW - Assay KW - Thiol ligand PY - 2017 N1 - Geburtsname von Nirmalananthan-Budau, Nithiya: Nirmalananthan, N. - Birth name of Nirmalananthan-Budau, Nithiya: Nirmalananthan, N.
